"All of them," Terrin said.
"Oh. Oh, of course. We know all of the prophecies will be fulfilled eventually, but in the near future, which ones are most likely ..."
"All of them," Terrin said again.
Lloyd Hsu, a young adept in a beleaguered church, sees these words as an ending. An end to his church's decades of waiting. An end to oppression, an end to desperation. The conflict he and his fellow church members have been waiting for is here, and they have prophecies assuring them it will end in their favor. Victory over the nation keeping a stranglehold on them is in their reach-if they are bold enough to grab it.
The questions for Lloyd and the rest of the church, though, are what beginnings will follow this ending, and whether the future is all they believe it to be.
A fast-moving fantasy novel set in a near-future North America altered by magic, The Last Prophecies examines the persistence of faith and the stubborn desire to believe in times of disaster. Set in a new world where the two largest organizations of wizards in existence fight for control and the loyalty of their people, the book tells of church members, resistance fighters, and the hidden powers of the world who are pushed into cataclysmic action.
